There's a difference between holding up a 1x1 foot sign at a gathering of friends and planting a 1x1 foot sign on your lawn. Are you expecting your tweets to be private or public? If you publicly announce a problem, (and asking for public comments back.. ) then it is not spam if you get a relevant and appropriate message sent to you. Scaping usernames here however is not comparable to the blog post's example edit: misrepresentation as 'just another follower' is what i am against here.
